Hi Brian:

If one desktop environment doesn't work say KDE, then try Gnome.
Keep in mind that YDL 5 is the latest version of YDL and has lots of new stuff.

If none of the multimedia stuff works try downloading and installing xine.  Yum should be able to
find and install it for you.  Information regarding using yum is here:

Good Luck....
